crowd of several hundred gathered at
the bathing house, as 1t was reported that
Mrs. Cleveland was to plunge into the

Cleveland would wear was discussed
with remarkable intelligence, consider

Gen. Stiles Red Hot Speech Against
Boodiers.


Boodiers.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Gen. Stiles began
has argument for the prosecution In the
Doodle case. after a long argument by
Lawyer Hardy for the defense. Gen.
Stiles began by saying that a good many
people believed that a conspiracy had ex-
listed in Cook county for years by which
the people were defrauded, and which
had its headquarters in the rooms of the
county board. The conspiracy had been
found out and exposed in part, but prob
ably the whole story would never be
known. So long as the members of the
combine kept their mouths shut nothing
but the general idea of the scheme could
be got at by the public. Some Of the
pals at last peached on their fellow
thieves and the truth came out to a GER
tain degree. Gen. Stiles read the law on
conspiracy and then turned his attention
at n length to the testimony Of the
reformers and squealers. He asked the
jury if it were possible that any doubt
could exist in their minds as to the guilt
of the defendants. The evidence sho wed
that they were all in the conspiracy to
defraud the country, and there should be
no discrimination between them ever
though some of them did receive more of
the Doodle than the others. Sen. Stiles
continued in a forcibls manner for some
time, and in conclusion called upon the
jury to consider well the evidence and
render the only verdict that should be
given. which was that of guilty,
